The invention relates to the technical field of airborne meteorological radars, and discloses an elevation approximate ground
clutter suppression method and device for an airborne meteorological
radar, which are used for constructing a plurality of pitching center beam stereoscopic scanning systems on an
azimuth frame and completely covering the potential ground
irradiation range of the airborne meteorological
radar. Echo
data analysis interception is carried out according to the theoretical grounding range of different pitching center beams, and the height value of each
range gate is inversely calculated. A height distribution value in a two-dimensional
scanning plane is constructed and is approximate to a
digital elevation map. Finally, the
terrain heights at different distance gates are obtained, the actually-measured
terrain height is measured and calculated according to the aerial carrier speed and the
flight time so as to replace a
terrain height threshold value selected according to experience in a follow-up interval time, ground
clutter suppression calculation is carried out by replacing the terrain height threshold value with the actually-measured terrain height, and the terrain
clutter suppression precision is improved. The effect of a
digital elevation map is approximately replaced, so that the airborne ground clutter suppression technology can adapt to various complex terrain environments, and the robustness of the ground clutter suppression capability is improved.
